Temple of Emperor Yu
禹 庙
[唐] 杜甫(许渊冲译)
Your temple stands in empty hill,
the autumn breeze with sunset fills.
Oranges still hang in your courtyard;
dragons on your old walls breathe hard.
Over green cliff float clouds in flight;
the river washes the sand white.
On water as on land you’d go;
to dredge the streams and make them flow.
禹庙空山里,
秋风落日辉。
荒庭垂橘柚,
古屋画龙蛇。
云气生虚壁,
江声走白沙。
早知乘四载,
疏凿控三巴。
[词汇] courtyard
n.庭院,院子
They walked together through the arch and into the cobbled courtyard.
他们一起走过拱门,来到了铺着鹅卵石的庭院。
